5/30/2017 0 Comments Abdul Wadud By Myself RarBLOG TO COMM: 0. 5/0. SON OF FEH? Sheesh, you can tell that I'm a lazy Sherwood the City Slacker! Well yeah, I must admit that I have been getting lax- ative in posting regularly, but let's just say that I've been undergoing one of those whatta- they- call . Naturally I've had these creativity plug- ups before, especially during the time I was putting out my own fanzine at greater and greater intervals as the years progressed, but at least back then I could stay away from the tripewriter for months and not have to worry about meeting any self- imposed deadline for some ornery yet tres- metrosexual editor. But here in the type 'n post it age well, it's an entirely different situation, like who's gonna have their hand in the cookie jar first or sumpin'! Immediacy to the nth degree with the posting of ideas as soon as that li'l seed germinates in one's mind! Really, I had a lotta plans for this weekend's post but I deleted a good hunkin' portion of it and rewrote, reshaped and remodeled the rest (but don't worry- -- I'll crank out an extra long one for you anyway!). I guess that I just didn't want the usual gang of idiots out there to take what I have written and misconstrue it on purpose in order to make their own little brownie points like has happened for way too long a time. This must prove that I'm only getting old(er) if I'm actually avoiding controversy for the sake of a li'l peace o' mind! Uh, well let's just say that I already have enough to worry about w/o some azzole from beneath the equator purposefully twisto- changeoing my opinions to suit his own purposes just so's a dozen or so ex- colleagues can chime in with their own hearsay and distorted takes on any associations I may have unfortunately had with them. But hey, if you want to read some smart political discourse on a subject that I thought about touching upon, just click here and watch the scales fall from your eyes. My own personal opinion on the subject kinda fall between this and Justin Raimondo's at antiwar. I have a doozy lined up for you.. MICHAEL FRANKS part 1. Cecil Taylor Unit - Akisakila (1973) Track list 1. Bulu Akisakila Kutala 1. Trying To Better Myself. Abdul Wadud (3) Abdullah Yakub (1) Activity Center (2). Divine Revelation is an indispensable element of Islam. Dr Andrew Kaines consults at Brookvale, Northbridge, Mona Vale, Hurstville and Blacktown. MASABUMI KIKUCHI – East Wind (LP-1974) Label: East Wind. Abdul Wadud (6) Achim Kaufmann (1) Achim Tang (1). Pakistan's Annual Economic Survey 2005-06. Economic Survey 2005-06. The figures both for CAR (32.8 %) and RAR. I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up. Posted by: Viren Aug 13 2003, 12:17 PM. Ah.the party has already. Muslim feminists who see Islam as inherently egalitarian. She includes a long quote from Qur'anic scholar Amina Wadud, who says. I mean it! Perhaps I should gab on about some of the . Something like perhaps the very recent passing of one Gary Coleman, the precocious child star of the eighties- vintage sitcom DIFF'RENT STROKES whose adult life has been one custom made for the tabloid press and afternoon courtroom television programs that were created for the housewives who wanna bug out on their God- given duty of cleaning the house and washing dishes. Strangely enough, I must admit to having watched that show on more than a few occasions back when it was originally being aired, but looking back I believe that was only because I hadn't yet weaned myself off of the medium of network television, perhaps still under the strange delusion that the 1. That has to be my excuse, since this series wasn't exactly the funniest thing to hit the cathodes, or at least it wasn't compared to a rip roarer like ABBOTT AND COSTELLO let alone that all- time great LEAVE IT TO BEAVER. Maybe DIFF'RENT STROKES was one of those programs that, at least amongst us gulchered rockists, only Yankophiles like Lindsay Hutton would drool over.. Amerigan like ST. Julius Hemphill (mbari) Dogon A. Abdul Wadud - By Myself: Oasis (Bishara/1977) 3. Keith Rowe - Guitar Solos 3: For A. ELSEWHERE and MORK AND MINDY, but frankly I found these shows to be just more evidence of Our Nation going soft 'n flabby to the point where it might as well be The Blob. As for me, one thing I do recall, besides the episode where former WKRP IN CINCINNATI actor Gordon Jump tries to molest Arnold and his friend (the latter getting the ol' toucheroo) was the pretty chilling fact that overcame me when I finally came to the sad conclusion that it was going to be shows like this that would take over the afternoon/early evening rerun spots on your local television stations while all the good stuff like BEAVER and GOMER PYLE was going to get shoved in the broom closet. And you know, I was RIGHT, about five television generations over in fact. I guess if I were to really honor the memory of Mr. Coleman the best thing for me to do would be not to tune in to any DIFF'RENT STROKES marathons that may pop up on the screen but to keep on watching my DVD- R's of FERNWOOD TONIGHT (don't worry, a post on this 'un will be coming more later than sooner) and keep an eye out for one of his few appearances on that truly funny piece of seventes tee- vee at its best! And well whaddya know, word has come in that Dennis Hopper has passed on, as if this wasn't any big surprise at least judging from the stories of his terminal illness that have been going around. Unlike many of you reg'lars I must also admit that I was not that big of a follower of his.. I started to watch THE LAST MOVIE back when my satellite net still ran Trio (was gonna watch PERFORMANCE but the folks were home and well.. I didn't wanna get any detention 'r anything) and I saw EASY RIDER when it hit the late movie back when they actually still had 'em in the late- eighties, but I wasn't one to swoon over Hopper's acting abilities even if I will admit he sure packed a lot more punch into a performance making even a dudster like that film where he played that one- legged nutzo (y'know, the one where there was some dead girl inna woods for days on end and for some reason she didn't hardly decay or anything and none of the wild animals ate her corpse like you thought they woulda) pretty watchable. For me, I don't exactly think about his role in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE or even the long line of pre- RIDER biker flicks he was in when I hear his moniker pop up.. Nazi who's given some hotcha and pertinent tips by none other than the ghost of ol' Adolf himself on THE TWILIGHT ZONE does come to mind, plus I hear his appearance on the mandatory and almost forgotten NAKED CITY (a series deserving of a proper season- by- season DVD set) is supposed to be a wowzer as well. As John Cale would say, . Here are a few new items that actually made their way to my doorstop over the past few that might have meaning for you given how some use this blog as a consumer guide to disques Robert Christgau wouldn't touch in a million years. But then again it probably won't. Quit deluding yourself, Chris.***Irmin Schmidt- KAMASUTRA CD (Crippled Dick, Germany, available through Forced Exposure)Maybe you thought AGILOK & BLUBBO was a boring slice of German kultur for the terminally guilty like I did and had little hope for the early Can's soundtrack work for this famed durty film, but in contrast to A& B's flat- out bornado the music here, at least some of the time, does work some wonders. True there's too much flute that makes a good portion of this sound like Pink Floyd's . Of course the best parts are from the extremely rare single once again credited to Schmidt, though for some reason . If anybody knows why such an esoteric stunt such as this was performed don't bother writing c/o this blog. I'm too busy wondering when they're gonna get to releasing the huge backlog of Can recordings that have been just wasting away in the Inner Space vaults.***Sun Ra- STRANGE STRINGS CD (Unheard Music Series, available via Forced Exposure)I haven't been buying let alone listening to many of the recent Sun Ra digups outside of those boffo Norton reissues of early r& b/doo- wop single sides, but the idea of Ra and band working out on nothing but stringed lutes, lotars, kotos and other pluckers kinda got the best of me so what else could I do but plunk down my precious hard- begged! This '6. 7 session does typify the Arkestra of the day sounding rather ESP- Disk in approach, though by the time the band pulls out the twangers this gets to be one of the more atonal, barbaric and downright brain- scrambling Ra releases I've had the pleasure to hear. I was spinning it while reading some old CREEM mags last night and the effect was so intense that for a minute I thought I was Dave Marsh getting my cajoobies stuck in a meat grinder! Now how about that!***Various Artists- 1. GRAND STREET NEW YORK 1. DVD and CD (Soul Jazz, available through Forced Exposure)Well, I did get the sneakin' suspicion that maybe this long- lost document of the very- late- seventies En Why underground would not be to my liking after reading the enclosed DVD booklet notes which described the East Village/Soho no wave rift thusly: ! After all, haven't we heard enough of that anti- rock boho Soho rant and droning which by the time the eighties got fully into gear sounded rather irritating, especially in the face of the pure rock & roll this stuff supposedly was replacing? Well fear not Sweet Sue, for the musical acts that appear in Erika Beckman's documentation of the no wave in the art loft still has a good slice of the same high energy that I was certainly interested in whilst perusing whatever NEW YORK ROCKER I could lay paws on, wondering exactly what new and innovative there was out in under- the- ground music that might tickle my fancy and help me shed a few dollars in the process. The A- Band with ex- Daily Life Paul Mc. Mahon were perhaps the straightest act in the film, not as much no wave as one of the many post- Velvets acts that were flourishing in the area at the time. Mc. Mahon sounds more like an innocent Jonathan Richman awash in New York decadence.. Ut were also a joy to behold presenting their more straightforward no wave bleat while I actually did not get bored listening to Rhys Chatham strain the boundaries of monotony with his . Chinese Puzzle might go neck in neck with A- Band as far as group with the most bankability since their . In fact I think I remember some old OP reviewer draw up MX- 8. Sound comparisons and they do hold quite a bit. As for the Static, I was expecting a bummer considering some things I've heard of 'em that sounded swell in '8. Branca/Ess/Hahn put up a good wail with two guitars and drums (no bass variation of the stringed kind) had me palpitating for a ethereal visit to Max's Kansas City '7. Velvet Underground legacy strongly in tow. And speaking of Max's, I recall Morales performing at the group's own .
